While looking on brickset, i found news that said there would be an exclusive, limited time offer avalible on shop @ home on May 3rd and 4th celebrating 10 years of lego star wars. *oh2*

I was wondering if anybody else had heard this news, and if so knew anything about it.

This is also mentioned on the front page of Brickset. I don't know what it is, but I can't wait to find out. :wub:

I'm so flipppin sick of Lego only giving the US chances at stuff like this :cry_sad:

Why lego why?

Sound's intresting though... I'll probably have to fork out a small fortune for whatever it is though.

Any idea's? could be cool...

@ first I thought it might be the shadow trooper keychain w/ $75 order :hmpf_bad:

but thankfully, i remembered that the keychain is avalible until July!
it might be a chance to get or pre-order the new hoth or endor sets, as we saw those pics before the others supposedly being released in July/august :sweet:

The article does say that it is a special OFFER, not an exclusive set. So it could be to pre-order a summer set. Just maybe not thise big ones being released in August. But you never know...

Hopefully, it will be something to buy rather than something to preorder. I was just about to make a pick a brick order tonight, but now I think I'll wait.

Maybe they'll put the death star on sale for $100 :laugh:

.

EDIT: You know what I bet it is? A re-release of a classic set from early in star wars history, complete with yellow minifigs. It might even be Cloud City. But maybe I'm just dreaming...

Probably. I would not be surprised if that is what they did. It could also be the ability to pre-order a new set early or buy one of the smaller sets early.

Hmm...if it's something good, I'll have to try to ~~ask~~ convince my mom to get it, since it's going to be online only... :tongue:

EDIT: It's an "offer", so that means that it might just be getting something free with a purchase. I wonder if involves getting a free chrome Vader with a purchase...

It could also be the Palpatine's Arrest set which didn't make it as a TRU exclusive, but still got a lot of votes. At least that's what I hope it is. :grin:

But it's probably just a re-release or something completely different. Oh well, I guess we'll find out soon enough. :wink:

Edit: On second thought, if it's only available for TWO days, it's probably something small, but special. Or as somebody suggested, maybe just a big sale on one or all SW item(s). I'd prefer it if it were a sale! :sweet:

chrome vader with $99+ order, read the fine print on the lego store calendar it said "while supplies last" . so it won't be a discount on items, it won't be pre-order. so pretty sure they will hand stuff out with orders.

Is this a guess? "While supplies last" could also apply to an exclusive limited edition set that only has a certain production amount. I'm hoping its not a Chrome Vader with a $99+ order, that would be kinda lame. I'm hoping its a early release of a summer set, maybe Hoth! :sweet:

That would be something I would buy. I'm not spending a hundred plus bucks just to get a free little figure, even if it is Chrome Vader. :hmpf_bad:

Hope we get some more news on this soon...

Anyways, I really wonder what it is...

Just being me, I'm hoping it's a $2 bucket of 70 droids and 30 clones. (I need more droids!) :tongue:

But what it's more likely to be is a Chrome Vader with a purchase of X amount.

...I have a Death Star...

I doubt it will be a chromie vader. Lego wouldn't use the same thing for two promotions :hmpf_bad:

I'm thinking mabye a re-release of an older swet as other's have said... It could be great :sweet:

Well, on Brickset, HUW cited his contact at LEGO as saying that it was a "pretty cool" offer. Somehow I doubt he would say that if it was just a simple discount on something we've already seen. :wink:

Whatever it is, it's bound to be interesting, and I'll be sure to check the site to see what it is.

I personally think that would be a waste of an offer. I would much rather have a free Chrome Vader with a $100 purchase, or a summer set before the release date.

Is it too much to ask that this "pretty cool" promotion be a UCS AT-AT??? I know that's not possible that they offer a UCS set for only 2 days, but an announcement that a UCS AT-AT is coming would be "pretty cool"...and that's an under-statement IMHO.

Thanks for those Mister Kirk.
But I think as well as different designs costing more to produce, we need to only give out one sort of figure. We want a fig that represents CP, not 7 or 8 similar ones. And lets face it, the few people lucky enough to recieve one as a gift or prize etc. will only have one or two at the most ay? These won't be quite as readily available as Redbeard. :pir-laugh:

So I'm happy with what we have already got.

Maybe there will be a free set when you purchase a certain amount. Or it could just be some sets on sale. I have no idea what it will be?

Not for me...
If it's something really good, but expensive, I won't be able to get it. I might not even be able to get whatever it is even if it's cheap, since my parents might not want to buy things online with their credit cards... :hmpf_bad:

I hope that it's something cheap! :tongue:

Maybe is a special pre-order for what could be the REAL 10th anniversary set that the TLC told us they will release (Or might release :tongue:

) around October this year :cry_happy:

. If the real deal is this one then I would be very happy but if it´s is something else like a small discount on some sets or thing like that than it isn´t going to be all that exciting :tongue:
